The Jets might be down to their third-string weakside linebacker this week.

Current starter Mark Brown was added to the injury report on Thursday with a neck injury. He's listed as questionable and didn't practice on Thursday. The Jets regular starter on the weakside, Eric Barton, is out for the year with an arm injury. If Brown can't go, Barry Gardner will likely start. He is a former starter for the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles who the Jets signed as a free agent this past off-season.
